Ethan's Visit to the ER

Well we had an eventful night last night. Around 10:30pm we heard Ethan in his room. Daddy went to see what he wanted. After a few minutes I decided to go see what was going on because I heard Ethan crying. I asked him what was the matter, and he said "I put one of those eyes in my nose" I knew what he was talking about because I put them away in his desk before bed (they are the hard plastic googly eyes you can get in the crafts section) They are fairly good size ones too. When Sean and I asked him why he did it he gave us a few different answers, but here are a few "I wanted my eyes to be brown like Littlefoot's (he is really into the Land before time at the moment)" "Littlefoot told me to do it, Bruce (his shark) told me not too" "I don't know." He is a kid, that is why he did it! Well I took him into the bathroom and looked up his nose, and sure enough I could see the edge of one stuck way up his nostril. We got a flash light and I tried getting it out with the tweezers, but it was way up there, too slimy and I couldn't get it. We decided we needed to take him to the ER to get it out of there. Luckily Grandma was over because she was going to be watching the kids today so she stayed with Julia while we took Ethan to the ER. Long story short, they got it out. It even took two doctors and about 5 minutes for them to get it out. He tried with the tweezers and this tool at first, he couldn't get it so he needed to use a suction tool and it still took him a few tries. Ethan was so excited. He said "Mommy am I going to the same hospital where you had Julia!!" "I need to teach the new baby not to put those eyes in it's mouth" He brought in his Littlefoot toy and was in a good mood the whole time. You wouldn't think he needed to be there by the way he was acting, but I couldn't leave that thing stuck up his nose!! He did great, and they even put the eye in a little cup for us to take home (Ethan really wanted it). Of course I didn't give it back to Ethan, we are going to put it in his baby book. What a story!! I did the same thing when I was around his age, except I stuck a sunflower up there, and my parents had to take me to the ER too.

Here is a pic of me at 25 weeks. I am now 26 weeks! Wow the time goes by fast.
